Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does the term optimum mean for enzyme temperature? Select the best description.
A
The lowest temperature at which the enzyme works to form enzyme-substrate complexes
B
The temperature which gives the highest enzyme activity forming the maximum number of enzyme-substrate complexes
C
The highest temperature before denaturing occurs
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, enzymes have an optimum temperature that corresponds to maximum activity. (At higher or lower temperatures, the activity of the enzyme is lower.) The optimum temperature is usually around body temperature (37°C). Effect of pH. Each enzyme has an optimum pH.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each enzyme has a temperature range in which a maximal rate of reaction is achieved. This maximum is known as the temperature optimum of the enzyme. The optimum temperature for most enzymes is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). There are also enzymes that work well at lower and higher temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, the temperature range for maximum functioning of most enzymes is 30°C-45°C. Q. Enzymes work at optimum temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature. Optimum temperature is the t at which the enzyme exhibits maximum activity. pH. Optimum pH is the pH at which the enzyme exhibits maximum activity.
